24 October—9 November
Permission Slip leans into embodied curiosity, playing together, and learning-with. The exhibition features a video portrait of a stream and its friends by Adam Ben-Dror and Xin Cheng, a double-sided painting-membrane-picnic blanket by Raewyn Martyn, and squishy oversized play items by Aya Yamashita Francis. In these works, research is firmly located in the world and involves a tangle of collaborators in active exchange. Artists, neighbours, rocks, bacteria, children, insects, waste, pathways, and spiderwebs are all contributors. What can we learn together? Where does it happen? How can we make it pleasurable?
